in(di)visible

Air is the common platform for all human beings and has the capacity to create boundaries, yet unless under extreme conditions often remains invisible. Varying in qualities such as temperature, humidity and pollution, the status of air is generally highly local to a particular context. The research explores how rendering air visible through an architectural intervention made of networked sentient prototypes can be used in the creation of a responsive outdoor public space. Architecture becomes the center negotiation piece between humans and machines within the complex urban ecology.
